COTTON LABORERS STRIKE.
IDLE PRESSES IN NEw-ORLEANS.

THE RESULT OF AN OLD FIGHT-NEGRoEs SAT- THAT
1T &c A WAR AGAINST THEM
NEw-ORLxANs March "a Gpeciab.-For some
time there has been trouble IL the ranks OF the
laborers engaged in handling cotton in this city.
The Cotton Mems Council split and organized two
bodies, one styling itself the Old Council and the
other the New Council The trouble grew out OF the
fight which was made on the Independent cotton
presses, which proposed to reduce press charges
while paying the wages fixed by the association OF
iaborers. The New Council excluded press owners
and other employers, while the Old Council al-
lowed such employers as were ALREADY represented
to continue in the organization. This morning the
trouble eliminated in Q strike Of the
New Council, which stopped work ct all
The officers Of the New Council, III explanation OK
their strike, say: "when we formed the New
Council 1t was with the determined intention to
free ourselves from employers influences in our
meetings. For some time we did not object to the
split but we found that influences were brought 20
bear on the Old Council to our prejudice. We then
requested these persons to JOIN the New Council 30
that the laborers interests might be united and
strengthened. They have ignored our requests.
and now propose to bring them back to tho foid
by refusing to work with them in the presses.
On tie other hand, the members OF the Od Coun-
Gil state that this move Is i'll the nature of boy
colt against the cOlored people, who are IN the ma
jority IN the Old Council They clam that thoy
work ar union rates and perform tbeir duties welt
and faithfully. They also claim that the whito
men have, for some time, tried 10 smut them OUT.
Only those of their who leaders and IN po.
siTions of influence are kept steadily emp'oyei.
The Old Council people intend to make the ngnt ~
reducing their tariff as laoOrers. Between elgns
and nine thousand working are directly inter-
csted IN the result OF the war
